The coupling element 92a on the side of the bearing arm is preferably mounted in a recess made in the support surface 60a. The coupling element 92a on the bearing arm side is movably supported against a spring force. The coupling element 92a on the bearing arm side is mechanically linked to the

Transmission element 80a of the snap mechanism 76a coupled. Is the

The table base body 28a of the table unit 24a on the support surface 60a engages the table-side coupling element 88a in the bearing arm-side coupling element 92a.

The coupling element 88a on the table side preferably only engages in the coupling element 92a on the bearing arm side when the table base body 28a rests completely on the support surface 60a. If the table-side coupling element 88a only engages in the bearing-arm-side coupling element 92a, the coupling mechanism 86a is in a coupled state.

In a coupled state, the table-side coupling element 88a engages positively in the coupling element 92a on the bearing arm-side. In the coupled state of the

Coupling mechanism 86a, an operative connection is established between the actuating element 82a and the transmission element 80a. In particular, in the coupled state of the coupling mechanism 86a, a movement of the actuating element 82a can be transmitted to the transmission element 80a of the snap mechanism 76a.

The storage device 34a has a use position securing unit 106a. The use position securing unit 106a is provided to secure the table unit 24a in the use position if the table unit 24a is not in the

Intermediate position is arranged. The use position securing unit 106a is preferably formed at least partially in one piece with the coupling mechanism 86a. The coupling element 92a introduced into the bearing arm side

Form-fit element 94a has a keyhole shape. The form-fit element 94a has an insertion region that has a diameter that is greater than that Mushroom head of the table-side coupling element 88a designed as a pin element. The form-fit element 94a has a locking area which has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter than the mushroom head of the table-side coupling element 88a designed as a pin element. The insertion area preferably directly adjoins the locking area of the form-fit element 94a. If the table unit 24a is arranged in the intermediate position, the coupling element 88a, designed as a pin element with a mushroom head, is located in the insertion area of the form-fit element 94a of the coupling element 92a. The table unit 24a can be transferred from the intermediate position to the stowed position via the rotary bearing unit 54a. If the table unit 24a is not arranged in the intermediate position, the coupling element 88a designed as a pin element with a mushroom head is located in the locking area of the form-fit element 94a of the coupling element 92a. The coupling element 88a is because of its mushroom head in

The pivoting direction of the table unit 24a is positively connected to the form-fitting element 94a of the coupling element 92a and the table unit 24a can be connected by means of the

Rotation bearing unit 54a cannot be pivoted. In principle, it is also conceivable that the use position securing unit 106a is separate from the

Coupling mechanism 86a is formed and for this purpose has in particular its own pin with a mushroom head and a corresponding form-locking element.

The table unit 24a comprises a cover element 96a. The cover element 96a is provided to cover an area between the folded-up table unit 24a and the bearing arm 48a, in particular the second side 52a of the bearing arm 48a in the direction of the aircraft seat. The cover element 96a is intended, in particular, to prevent a passenger from pinching their fingers between the table unit 24a and the support surface 60a when the table is folded down. The cover element 96a is designed, for example, as a fin which extends downward from the underside 90a of the table base body 28a. When the table unit 24a is folded up, in particular when the table unit 24a is arranged in the stowed position, the cover element 96a designed as a fin extends from the underside 90a of the table base body 28a to below the edge of the support surface 60a of the bearing arm 48a. As a result, in any position of the table unit 24a, reaching into from the front between the table unit 24a and the support surface 60a can be prevented. In principle, it is also conceivable that the cover element 96a consists of a textile, a telescopic element, a spring element or a folding element is formed, which is firmly connected to the bottom 90a of the table base body 28a and a front edge of the bearing arm 48a.

The table unit 24a further comprises at least one stop element 98a which, when the table unit 24a is folded out, is provided to prevent the table unit 24a from being displaced from a position of use into the intermediate position. The stop element 98a is preferably formed in one piece with the table unit 24a. The stop element 98a is preferably formed in particular from a rear side of the table body 30a. The stop element 98a formed from the rear of the table body 30a strikes a side wall 20a of the housing element 12a when the table unit 24a is folded out and thereby prevents further displacement of the table unit 24a in the direction of the intermediate position when the table unit 24a is in its unfolded state.

The housing element 12a forms a storage compartment in the upper wall 22a. The storage compartment 108a is introduced into the wall 22a and extends above the indentation 16a. The storage compartment 108 has a filling opening 1 which is arranged on a front side of the wall 22a. The filling opening 1 is made in the wall 22a between the monitor 126a and the folded table unit 24a. The storage compartment 108a can be filled through the filling opening 1. The storage compartment 108a is designed in particular at an angle. The storage compartment 108a preferably extends in particular parallel to an underside of the wall 22a of the housing element 12a. The storage surface 108a has at a rear end in particular a smaller distance to the support level than at a front end in which the

Filling opening 1 is arranged. As a result, objects such as laptops or tablets slide into the storage compartment 108a and are therefore safely stowed in the storage compartment 208a and cannot easily fall out. In principle, it is also conceivable that the storage compartment 108a has a closing element, for example a flap, by means of which the filling opening 1 of the storage compartment 108a can be closed. At a lower end, the storage compartment 108a preferably has one

Removal slot 112a, through which in particular small objects can be removed from the storage compartment 108a at a lower end, in particular when the table unit 24a is not arranged in the stowed position. Of the Removal slot 112a is made in the underside of wall 22a. Of the

Removal slot 1 12a opens into the indentation 16a of the housing element 12a.

The bearing device 34a comprises a height adjustment unit 114a. The

Height adjustment unit is provided to adjust a height of the table unit in the

Use position, especially in the use position close to the seat, to be adjusted between a minimum height and a maximum height. By means of the height adjustment unit 114a, an operator, in particular a passenger sitting on the aircraft seat, can manually adjust a height of the table unit 24a between the minimum height and the maximum height. As a result, a passenger can adapt the height of the table unit 24a individually to his needs. To form the height adjustment unit 114a, the bearing arm 48a is formed in two parts in a partial area, preferably in particular on the second side 52a. A first arm element 1 16a is rigidly connected to the first side 50a of the bearing arm 48. A second arm element 1 18a is linear, in particular in one

Vertical direction, adjustable with the first arm element 1 16a, which is firmly connected to the first side, connected. The two arm elements 1 16a, 1 18a are connected to one another in a linearly displaceable manner. The height adjustment unit 1 14a has two linear bearings 120a, 122a for connecting the two arm elements 1 16a, 1 18a. The two linear bearings 120a, 122a each have a guide element connected to the first arm element and a guide element connected to the second arm element 118a

Guide element that interlock positively and along a

Adjustment direction, which is aligned in particular in a vertical direction, are mutually adjustable. The table unit 24a is connected to the second arm element 1 18a. As a result, the table unit 24a can be adjusted in height by means of the height adjustment unit 1 14a by axially displacing the two arm elements 1 16a, 1 18a relative to one another. The table unit 24a can preferably be locked at different heights by means of the height adjustment unit 114a and, in particular, can be adjusted continuously. The height adjustment unit 114a preferably comprises a securing unit. The securing unit is provided so that the table unit 24a by means of the

Height adjustment unit 1 14a can be adjusted in height when the table unit 24a is arranged in a position of use. The securing unit is preferably provided so that the table unit can only be moved from a position of use into the

The intermediate position can be moved when the table unit is arranged at its minimum height. To actuate the height adjustment unit 114a, the bearing device 34a has an actuating element 124a. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the actuating element for actuating the height adjustment unit 114a is formed in one piece with the actuating element 82a of the locking unit 72a or that the

Height adjustment unit 1 14a is possible via an electrical adjustment of a seat control unit.
